{{episode summary|[[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya's]] got two straight wins in his attempt to officially qualify for the [[Maiami Championship|Junior Youth Arc League Championship]], but he still remains annoyed about [[Pendulum Summon]]ing. The fact [[Declan Akaba|Declan]] could also Pendulum Summon still bothers him. And despite Declan raising the possibility of Pendulum Summoning evolving even further, he still hasn’t figured out how to do that or what Declan even meant.

Meanwhile, [[Masumi KotsuJulia Krystal|MasumiJulia]] continues to frantically search for the culprit behind the attacks on members of LDS[[Leo Institute of Dueling|LID]], and ends up Dueling against encountering [[Yuzu HiragiZuzu Boyle|YuzuZuzu]] and [[Sora Shiun'inPerse|Sora]] who are the middle of Special Fusion Summoning Training. However, Masumi’s Julia’s aim is to have the mysterious [[Yuto|Black Masked ManDuelist]] appear…}}

<!--@@Declan successfully Pendulum Summons.-->In a simulation at [[Leo Corporation]], [[Declan Akaba|Declan]] steps forwards. The reflections of "[[D/D Magical Astronomer Savant Galilei (later anime)|D/D Savant Galilei]]" and "[[D/D Magical Astronomer Savant Kepler (later anime)|D/D Savant Kepler]]," now with altered effects, gleam in his glasses, and using the [[Pendulum Scale|Scale]] 1 "Galilei" and the Scale 10 "Kepler," he Sets the Pendulum Scale. Both monsters, now with glowing red eyes, arise in the columns of light beside Declan, who [[Summon chant|chants]], "Great power which shakes my very soul! Arise within me and give birth to a new light that rends the darkness! [[Pendulum Summon]]! Come before me, my monster servants!" The Summon portal opens, and as the purple mass of light surges forth, Declan chants, "The three transcendal transcendental deities who rule over all kings, [[D/D/D Hell Doom King Armageddon (later anime)|D/D/D Doom King Armageddon the Cruel End Overlord]]!" as he calls forth all three copies. A technician confirms the Summon, and another states that the energy levels are stable. The lead technician is pleased, if it can stabilize at this stage. The monsters hang in the air without any troubles as Declan imagines himself facing [[Yuya Sakaki]] and "[[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]," and he muses his rival's name. He reaches for the last card in his hand, only to be stopped by [[NakajimaClaude]], who points out that they've successfully cleared the day's benchmarks. Declan heaves a sigh of relief.

Later, Nakajima Claude congratulates Declan, as now they're one step closer to creating their own Leo Corporation [[Pendulum Monster|Pendulum Cards]]. Declan points out that they are still incomplete; their energy output is still less than that of those used by Yuya, thus as they are now, they're far from useable usable in the [[Maiami Arc League Championship|tournament]]. Nakajima Claude apologizes, vowing to make them useableusable. Declan agrees that that is the deadline. They cannot underestimate their opponents in [[Maiami Paradise City]], no matter where they might come from.

In [[You Show Duel School]], Yuya is sitting in the Duel Field, watched by the kids. [[Ally]] notes that he's been sitting there for a while, and [[Tatsuya Yamashiro|TatsuyaTate]] points out that Yuya seemed so happy yesterday talking about how he only has two matches to win to qualify for the tournament. [[Futoshi Harada|FutoshiFrederick]] suggests that Yuya's brain might be shivered out from all the quizzes. Yuya is remembering his conversation with [[Nico Smiley]], who congratulated him on his second victory. Yuya thanked him, but pointed out that Nico didn't seem happy, but Nico reassures him that he is happy: Yuya learned proper hospitality from the Cooking Duel, and that Duels are a communication tool through the Quiz Duel, racking up successive wins on top of that. But being happy is Yuya's job, and while it's a good start, it's only been within Nico's expectations. As entertaining people comes first for a pro, Yuya has to surprise and steal the hearts of his audience, all the while earning applause. Being able to surpass the audience's imaginations is the mark of a pro. In the present, Yuya growls in frustration admitting that what Nico said is true: when [[Yusho Sakaki|his father]] first took to the skies in an [[Action Duel]], it was often said that the crowd had their hearts stolen too. Then he remembers what Declan told him about his father, and he thinks that Declan surprised him too, able to use [[Fusion Summon]]s, [[Synchro Summon]]s, and [[Xyz Summon]]s one after the other, and even Pendulum Summoning. And he also claimed to see further possibilities of evolution in Pendulum Summoning. He takes off [[Yuya's Pendant|his pendant]] and swings it in the air, musing on the possibility, asking why he can't see it. He gets up and runs out of the Duel Field, to the kids' surprise. [[Shuzo HiragiSkip Boyle]] is drawing cards from a dispenser, up to 383. Yuya runs in, asking his principal what he should do so that he can see it, and Shuzo Skip replies that the road is long, but he shouldn't give up, he should go one step further, and keep taking steps down the path. Yuya protests that he doesn't know which path to take, so he can't go forward, so what should he do to see what path he should take? Shuzo Skip replies that he can't see it either, despite being together for so long - he can't see his [[Yuzu HiragiZuzu Boyle|beloved daughter's]] heart at all, and he bursts into tears, much to Yuya's confusion. The kids note that Yuzu Zuzu hasn't been coming to Duel School recently, and she's at [[Sora Shiun'inPerse|Sora]]'s fifth match.

<!--@@Sora vs. the Kabuki Duelist.-->Sora's opponent has just completed his turn, and he dramatically tells Sora to face him. Sora appreciatively praises the other kabuki Duelist, as he might even give Yuya's Entertainment Dueling a run for its money. Yuzu Zuzu tells him to hurry it up, as he's going to end it on this turn. Sora reluctantly agrees, noting that YuzuZuzu's been excited recently, and he draws "[[Edge Imp Sabres (anime)|Edge Imp Sabres]]"." He points out that he's been showing Yuzu Zuzu his cards so far, so what should he do next? Yuzu Zuzu replies that it's obvious: he should use the "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]" in his hand to fuse "Edge Imp Sabres" with the "[[Fluffal Bear (anime)|Fluffal Bear]]" that's also in his hand. Sora agrees, commenting that it looks like she's got it down. He activates the card, and Yuzu Zuzu mimics his movements and words, as they fuse "Edge Imp Sabres" and "Fluffal Bear." They chant, "Claws of the demon and fangs of the beast! Within a vortex of mystery, become one and reveal to us your new form! [[Fusion Summon]]! Appear before us, horrifying beast that shreds all! [[Frightfur Bear (anime)|Frightfur Bear]]!" They attack directly, wiping the other Duelist out, and as he hits the wall and slides down on it, he declares it to be a splendid view. The stagehands draw the curtains across as Sora's WIN portrait pops up. Sora comments that the fifth one was a pushover too, but he's glad that Yuzu Zuzu is learning Fusion, so it's all good. Yuzu Zuzu vows not to think of unnecessary things anymore; she has to completely master Fusion Summoning for the Junior Youth Championship, in order to defeat [[Masumi KotsuJulia Krystal]].

<!--@@Gong shows up at LID.-->At LDSLID, [[Yaiba TodoKit Blade|YaibaKit]] asks Masumi Julia if she's going to go out searching again today. Masumi Julia replies that of course she is, she has to find that [[Yuto|black masked man]] and ask him about [[Marco (ARC-V)|Professor Marco]]. Yaiba Kit asks if she's sure that he's the culprit, and [[Dipper O'rion|Dipper]] asks if she has seen him use [[Xyz Monster|Xyz]]. Masumi Julia points out that that's why she needs to find him and see if he uses Xyz for herself before heading out. Yaiba Kit comments that she's stubborn, and Dipper warns him not to let Masumi Julia hear him say that or she'll send him flying. Yaiba Kit admits that Masumi Julia is right; if they don't find the culprit fast, the situation is only going to get worse. Dipper admits that he heard rumors about some rumors about LDS LID top team members getting taken out too, and Yaiba Kit muses that the culprit might show up before them soon. Suddenly, [[Gong Strong|Gong]] approaches YaibaKit, brimming with apparent rage. Yaiba Kit unlimbers his wooden katana, angrily asking if Gong wants to face him again. Instead, Gong's knees crash to the ground, and he explains that he has a request for a fellow man. Yaiba Kit is, if anything, even more surprised by this, gabbling in shock.

In the alleyway where the LDS LID top-team were attacked, Masumi Julia crawls under the keep-out tape and begins looking for clues. Her search is fruitless until a falling stone catches her attention, and she sees the claw marks of [[Raidraptor - Rise Falcon|the monster]] that attacked the top-team members still scarring the overpass. Someone yells at MasumiJulia, asking what she's doing there, and she flees in terror, wondering if Professor Marco was attacked by that kind of monster.

Yuzu <!--@@Julia approaches Sora and Zuzu.-->Zuzu and Sora walk through the harbor, Yuzu Zuzu claiming that she would have ended Sora's Duel a turn earlier; since his opponent's monster only had 1500 [[ATK]], instead of Summoning "Fluffal Bear"," he could have Summoned the 1600 ATK "[[Fluffal Leo (anime)|Fluffal Leo]]"." Sora replies that he knows, but wanted to show Yuzu Zuzu Fusion Summoning again, since it seemed like she didn't get it last time after all. Yuzu Zuzu claims that she's got Fusion Summoning down, and she's practiced enough too. All that's left is to demonstrate her skills in a real match. Sora notes her confidence, and agrees, having been wanting another Duel for a while. As Yuzu Zuzu tells him that he's on, Masumi Julia approaches them. Masumi Julia asks them if they know what's been happening in Maiami Paradise City. There have been repeated assault incidents by [[Shun KurosakiShay Obsidian|a mysterious Duelist]], and all of the victims have been connected to LDSLID. But no-one can say for sure, because everyone who was attacked has disappeared, including Professor Marco and the LDS LID top-team members. She begs Yuzu Zuzu to tell her where she can find the black-masked Duelist. Yuzu Zuzu remembers her last meeting with the Duelist, and Masumi Julia believes that if she had caught him then, she might have been able to prevent the following incidents, all because Yuzu Zuzu let him get away. Yuzu Zuzu protests that she doesn't know anything, and Masumi Julia calls her a liar. The kind and gentle Professor Marco has disappeared, and he might be suffering somewhere. That's why Masumi Julia has to find him as soon as possible. She yells at Yuzu Zuzu to hurry up and tell her where the Duelist is. Yuzu Zuzu again denies knowing anything, and Masumi Julia asks why she was with him at the scene of the first incident. When Yuzu Zuzu doesn't reply, Masumi Julia tells her that she'll force the answer out of her as a Duelist, unholstering her Duel Disk. Sora comments that an LDS LID Fusion user should be no threat to Yuzu Zuzu and she could take Masumi Julia out in a jiff. Yuzu Zuzu is shocked, asking if Sora's saying that she should accept MasumiJulia's challenge. Sora points out that YuzuZuzu's been saying for a while that she's had enough practice and been wanting to polish her skills in a proper match. Masumi Julia asks who's going to be taken out in a jiff, did Sora forget how badly Yuzu Zuzu lost to her? Sora replies that Yuzu Zuzu is on a different level from back then; she understands now that LDS LID Fusion Summons aren't actually a threat. Incensed, as she view Sora's words as an insult to Professor Marco, the one who taught her Fusion Summoning, Masumi Julia challenges Sora instead. Sora protests that she shouldn't, as she'll just hurt her confidence even more. Masumi Julia yells at him to shut up, as LDS LID is the strongest, and she'll make sure Sora doesn't forget it.

"You're LDSLID?" a voice asks her.

[[File:Shay gets punched.png|thumb|250px|Yuto punches Shay to restrain him.]]Everyone reacts in shock as [[Shun KurosakiShay Obsidian|ShunShay]] rushes forwards, pushing Yuzu Zuzu aside and causing her to drop her Duel Disk and her cards, which spill over the ground. Activating his Duel Disk, Shun Shay tells Masumi Julia that if she's LDSLID, then he'll be her opponent. Sora frowns as Shun Shay advances, and Masumi Julia backs away, asking if Shun Shay is the culprit of the repeated assault incidents. Shun Shay simply tells her to come, and Duel him. The masked Duelist leaps over a container, yelling at Shun Shay to stop being so reckless, grabbing his arm. Shun Shay yells his comrade's name - [[Yuto]]. Yuto removes his mask and he protests that he told Shun Shay before that this isn't their battlefield and that these people aren't their enemies. Shun Shay yanks down his scarf, retorting that this is ''his'' battlefield. In order to get [[Ruri KurosakiLulu Obsidian|RuriLulu]] back, he has to do this, and if Yuto tries to get in his way, he'll defeat him too. Masumi Julia contacts Yaiba Kit and Dipper for aid, and as everyone else turns to look at her, Yuzu Zuzu protests that they don't know if Shun Shay is the culprit yet. Seeing her for the first time, Shun Shay gasps, calling Yuzu her "Ruri,Lulu"and wondering what she's doing here. Removing his dark glasses, he asks if she managed to get away on her own, but as he presses her with questions, Yuto punches him in the solar plexus, immobilizing him. He tells Shun Shay that Yuzu Zuzu is not Ruri Lulu before Shun Shay passes out. Yuto puts him over his shoulder as Masumi Julia asks Dipper to send as many people as they can.

In the city, Dipper reassures Masumi Julia that Yaiba Kit is on it now. Yaiba Kit explains to an LDS LID official that the culprit is in the South Warehouse District. Yuya, meanwhile, is reading a Dueling magazine in the street, musing that even Yuzu Zuzu is trying to learn Fusion Summoning from Sora, so what should ''he'' do? He throws his arms up and collides with Dipper in a crash. Dipper tells him to be more careful before both parties recognize one another. Yuya asks why they want him to apologize when they ran into him, and Dipper retorts that Yuya should also learn to be more aware of his surroundings. Yaiba Kit breaks them up, and Yuya asks what happened. Yaiba Kit explains that they found the culprit of the repeated assault incidents, the mysterious Duelist.

[[File:This Does not Suite You.png|thumb|left|250px|Yuto tells Zuzu that "Polymerization" doesn't suit her.]][[File:Zuzu starts crying.png|thumb|250px|Zuzu breaks down over what is happening.]]Yuto picks up YuzuZuzu's "Polymerization" card, and he comments that it doesn't suit her. Sora replies that that's too bad, but he doesn't like hearing that about presents that he gives to people though. He wouldn't mind showing Yuto just how amazing that card is though. Yuzu Zuzu angrily tells them to cut it out, getting between them. The group suddenly hear Dipper calling MasumiJulia's name as he, Yaiba Kit and Yuya run up. With Yuya in close proximity to Yuto, [[YuzuZuzu's bracelet]] lights up and both Yuto and Shun Shay are warped away before they others arrive. They ask Masumi Julia where the culprit is, and she gasps that he disappeared. Yuya asks Yuzu Zuzu if she'd s okay, but Yuzu Zuzu is in shock, stating that he disappeared again, and these people kept saying that she is and is not RuriLulu. Yuya asks what Yuzu Zuzu is talking about, and Yuzu Zuzu buries her hands head in her hands; she doesn't know, she doesn't know what's going on anymore, or why her bracelet shines and they disappear when Yuya comes near. Yuya notices YuzuZuzu's cards on the ground, and he picks them up for her, wondering why they're all thrown on the ground like this. He hands them back to Yuzu Zuzu as LDS LID arrive, Masumi running Julia runs towards them and apologizing apologizes profusely. Sora comments that they should leave, and he gently guides Yuzu Zuzu away, commenting that Yuya should hurry up too. Before Yuya can leave, Yaiba comments that he heard that Yuya needs two more wins to enter the Junior Youth Championship, and wishes him good luck, though he comments that it might be impossible for Yuya. Yuya tries to asks how Yaiba knows above his wins and why he's saying that, but Yaiba runs off. Looking around for Yuzu and Sora, Yuzu spies Yuzu's "Polymerization" card that Yuto dropped, and he picks it up.

Before Yuya can leave, Kit comments that he heard that Yuya needs two more wins to enter the Junior Arc League Championship, and wishes him good luck, though he comments that it might be impossible for Yuya. Yuya tries to asks how Kit knows about his wins and why he's saying that, but Kit runs off. Looking around for Zuzu and Sora, Yuya spies Zuzu's "Polymerization" card that Yuto dropped, and he picks it up. ==Featured Duel: Sora Shiun'in Perse vs. Unknown Duelist==Duel is shown from an unspecified [[turn]]. [[Sora Shiun'inPerse|Sora]]'s opponent [[control]]s no cards and has 400 [[Life PointsLP]].

Sora draws "[[Edge Imp Sabres (anime)|Edge Imp Sabres]]". He then Sora activates the [[Spell Card]] "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]", fusing [[Fusion Summon]]ing a [[Fusion Monster]] from his [[Extra Deck]] using monsters in his hand or field as [[Fusion Material]]. He fuses "Edge Imp ScissorSabres" and "[[Fluffal Bear (anime)|Fluffal Bear]]" to [[Fusion Summon]] "{{Monster|[[Frightfur Bear (anime)}}|Frightfur Bear]]" in [[Attack Position]](2200/1800). "Frightfur Bear" [[attack]]s Sora's opponent [[Direct attack|directly]] (Opponent Sora's opponent 400 → 0LP).
